But the US still isn't the one that needs to be pressured for that to happen. Barring a new anti-Ukraine president in the next election the ones to worry about are Hungary and Turkey who have also been speed bumps for Norway and Sweden's membership bids.
the US will not be the problem, Hungary will be (not Turkey on that one, they are building military facilities on Ukraine Soil meaning the tide between Ukraine and Turkey is strong enough for Turkey to accept Ukraine NATO accession). But US can pressure Hungary (just like what is happening with Sweden accession). pressuring US is pressuring the whole NATO because a lot of NATO countries relies on US military technology and intel (and the countries that don't rely on US: France and UK have already voted for a fast Ukraine NATO accession in their respective parliament)
